Exercise to Practice:

To practice on your own start slow and build up to the end product. Get your body use to how the neck stall feels. Once ready get the ball out and place it on your neck. Stall it for as long as you can, rest and then try again.

Once confident and you got it down using your hands try the neck stall from a foot stall or a thigh juggle. Have fun!

Bonus exercise! Its called neck stall it. Like you see it, you neck stall it. Lemons, shoes, books, whateves. As long as it’s not a cactus, neck stall it!

What’s Wrong:

If the ball keeps rolling off your neck after you throw your elbows back you are looking down. If all you see is grass underneath you, you are looking down. Look up!

If the ball is rolling down your back you are too straight up. Bend forward at your waist to make your back more in a table top position.

Bonus Tip:

Have a friend video or take a photo of you from the side. Then analyze your form as compared to mine. That will help you visually see what you may be doing wrong.
